The Ultio Pro is said to contain high-end video processing and will
store HD media on its internal hard drive. The box connects to an HDTV via an
HDMI output, and will playback digital images as well as videos and music.

Mvix said the Ultio Pro will record analog TV shows from cable or
satellite services, or family videos from a camcorder.

It is said to be suitable for archiving old VCR tapes and DVDs to
digital media files.

Ultio Pro also supports time-shifting of scheduled live
programming.

Mvix is now taking preorders on Ultio Pro in two versions: one
omitting the hard drive, which is priced at $169, and one that is bundled with a
2TB hard drive, which will be available at $348.

Mike Mallon, Mvix business development VP, said, "We've been
working on the personal video recording (PVR) technology for some time, and
we're happy to combine HD media playback and recording in a single device that
should serve as the ultimate solution for home entertainment and business videos.
Our aggressive pricing structure with a comprehensive set of features is likely
to set highest standards in high definition entertainment."

Ultio is Internet-ready and pre-equipped with a network port,
supporting optional wireless-N capability.

It supports a samba server and a UPnP implementation, allowing
seamless integration with services including PlayOn or Tversity (for streaming
video content from Netflix, Hulu, CBS, YouTube, CNN and ESPN). Mvix will launch
wireless-N accessories for the Ultio Pro along with the set-top box.

Mvix said it expects to ship the Ultio Pro for orders taken at
the Mvix Online Store starting in February.
The company will also be working with retail partners including Amazon.com, Buy.com,
Thinkgeek.com and B&HPhotoVideo.com.
